1. Anchor locker with stay sail chain plate not supported. I pulled forward bulkhead and fiberglassed gussets from hull sides to anchor locker. I fiberglassed minnie bulkhead between hull sides and top of v berth base. I then reinstalled orginal bulkhead and refastened to all new fiberglassed areas.
2. No place to install electric windlass. I cut 14 inches off anchor locker door and mounted 1/2 inch aluminum plate across locker. Atop that I installed Horz Windlass. Chain goes to v berth forward locker. Rope stays atop in locker.
3. No access to waste tank. I installed another tank forward.
4. No breast cleats. I cut toerail edge and installed chocks and cleats
